People of all religions live in India. Today, many couples are also doing intercaste marriages. In such a situation, the question is that if a Hindu girl marries a Muslim boy, does she have to change her religion? Today we will tell you what are the rules regarding marriage. Is it necessary for a Hindu girl to change her religion after marrying a Muslim boy?
Intercaste Marriage
Let us tell you that under the Hindu Marriage Act and Muslim Marriage Act, the religion of the bride and groom must be the same. According to the information, if the religion of both the boy and the girl is different, then the personal law does not allow them to marry. If the couple still wants to marry, then one of them will have to give up their religion and adopt another religion. In simple words, if a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy want to marry each other through the Muslim Marriage Act, then the Hindu will have to adopt the Muslim religion. Whereas if both want to marry through the Hindu Marriage Act, then the Muslim will have to become a Hindu.
special marriage act
Let us tell you that under the Special Marriage Act, a couple can get married without changing their religion. For this marriage, neither of the two should have been married before. In case of marriage, there should be a divorce. Apart from this, if any of the two parties is mentally incapable of giving consent for marriage, then marriage cannot take place under the Special Marriage Act. At the same time, the age of both should be more than the limit set by law. However, after applying under the Special Marriage Act, the marriage officer issues a notice for 30 days. During this period, any person can register an objection saying that this couple does not fulfill the necessary conditions to register the marriage. In such a situation, the marriage is not registered.
what is the latest case
Actually, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has given an important decision in the case related to the marriage of a Muslim boy and a Hindu girl. Both of them had applied for marriage in the court and demanded to register the marriage without conversion and to provide police protection. On this, the single bench of Justice GS Ahluwalia of the High Court said that according to Muslim Personal Law, conversion is necessary for the marriage of a Hindu girl and a Muslim boy, but in this case the girl has not converted. Therefore, this marriage cannot be considered valid.
